House Republicans nominated a new candidate for speaker late last night, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA). Johnson had only hours earlier narrowly lost his bid for the speaker nomination to Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) in the fifth round of voting among party lawmakers; however, just four hours after securing the nomination, Emmer announced he would withdraw from consideration as more than two dozen House Republicans indicated they would not support him on the floor and thus he had not path to being elected.
It is clear that this process remains far from over. To help make sense of it all, and what it means for senior living policy priorities, Argentum Advocates are invited to join us for our monthly policy briefing this afternoon.
